Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this nursing home excelled in our short-term care category, where it received an impressive grade of A. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Adding to its impressive category grades, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. In computing our nursing grades, we look at both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we scored was long-term care, where this facility was awarded a B-. While this ended up being its poorest category score, this is nevertheless not a terrible score. Our long-term care scores are more critical for people in need of more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 73.45972 percent of its residents. This is significantly below what we were hoping for. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
